A MEU can extend from 1,000-2,200 in number and conveys for around seven months — for the most part completely adrift. The objective of a MEU is to give a speedy response power of warriors to react to everything from catastrophic events to security dangers.

The move in powers to Asia likewise comes after Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis discharged his National Defense Strategy, which expressed that "the considerable power rivalry, not psychological oppression, is presently the essential focal point of US national security."
